As we know galaxys in known for its video playback, but after froyo 2.2 update avi files don't play smoothly.. Other files such as mkv, mp4 are playing as before..don't know what the problem is..can any one help..!!
What format AVI files would be the first question to ask .
jje
AVI used to work.
Actually the AVI files where working smoothly b4 the froyo update..So does this make any sense..?
Just yesterday I watched a .avi movie on my SGS (Froyo, SpeedMod, lagxif) using Mvideo Player.
Except for a few hickups here and there, worked like a charm, as good as on clean Eclair using Rock Player (the same movie).
Other than playing . Recording has an issue . On 720p there is a slight difference òf audio and video synchronisation .

@JJEgan , i installed Rock Player and when i go for "hardware decoding mode", Rock Player too has the same avi issue, but if i go for "software decoding mode" everything is working fine..

@Darktori gud 2 hear that..but don't u feel that something is fuzzy by what i was telling in prev post about that "hardware decoding mode" thing in rock player..
Well it is a bit strange, but do remember, that movie files can be very different. One car run smoot, and another cal lag like hell.
Did you test on the same file?

ya i did that..actually i did play the same file when i was in eclair, then played after froyo update..
experience
------------
eclair default player - smooth
froyo default player - hickup
froyo rplayer hardware acceleration - hickup
froyo rplayer software acceleration - smooth
I'm playing avi's weekly, .. already played about 10 movies smoothly from my old jpk froyo rom
won't dare upgrading this version since there are no true problems here, ..
@compuse ya better u stick with that..lets find a solution 4 these weird problems..
another one i can notice is in CONTACTS, the alphabets in rightside for quick access has some alphabets missing..haha.. i cant imagine how they r missing these things..
eg :
A

C

Are you using a special kernel?
If you're using a "bigmem" kernel I get the slow downs etc with video playback hardware acceleration occasionally.
Revert to a stock kernel to avoid that. Probably they should give back a little more memory for decoding video.
@ bilboa1 mine is stock kernel..and if what u say is the reason, then it should giv me same issue when playing mkv or mp4 files too..isn't it..?
Seems to me there's some sort of buffering problem. Could be settings of whatever froyo kernel you are using. Also don't forget about hdd fragmentation of file.
Software decoding might be working as its buffering with its own scheme while hardware is using hard written settings in hardware or kernel. Thats my guess

If you have root, download SGS Tools (search for 'sgstools' in market), from there you can "upgrade stock apps" and update your contacts apk
(and while you're there, you can change your default homescreen to anyone you like, very usefull)

do you have the latest version of coreplayer? have you changed any settings? it should be running fine
Try running TCMP instead, and get codecs.
Thats my setup, no lag. You can try it.

Mine only lags with some huge files, say 1.5gb. What sort and what size videos are you trying to watch. I always use xvids my mate dls em and I watch em, no further encoding required unless there is a dolby digital 5.1 soundtrack, then I have to mess about a bit.
I use pocket divx encoder if I need to re-encode a video, it is very good and can be found here: http://www.pocketdivxencoder.net/EN_index.htm

I'm not sure, but i downloaded some videos from youtube with youtubeget, i converted it to a wmv file, is that the problem?
I can also convert i to
*.Mov
*.3gp
*.Mp4
*.Avi
what is the best one to convert to?
and wich Video bitrate/Screensize/Frame rate/Audio Bitrate/Audio Rate do i need to use??
I tried several movies on the htc and they are not smooth.
Some movies were taken from an old phone that was less powerful and was smooth but is jerky on the htc, why is this?
Yesterday a friend sent a simple video that came with his phone and plays flawlessly for him but for myself it was lagging.
Can anyone think why it's doing this and what I can do to solve the problem?
I tried avi'd, divx/xvid and even mp4 files, all lag. Even different resolutions, say 640x480 or 800x480, etc.
Any suggestions?
Try Core Player. Best player for the HD. If still laggy try another rom.

Ask within Kwbr's thread to see if others are experiencing this. May be known issue with known solution
Certain versions of core player may work better so if you can get hold of a newer/older version it may help, or at the very least worth a try. After trying out the other available versions and other software options with no luck, I would look for a new rom (As long as you flashed the vanilla kwbr file properly and followed the instructions in their thread to the letter, but then I assumed you went through all these basic steps first anyways).

Yes, I did. It's a shame to change the rom because I'm happy with the rom in every other way.
It's fast and responsive, only slows down when playing any video's.
However, as a few of you mentioned, I will try a different, more later version of core player to see if it solves the problem.
If not, I may need a new rom...
If the worst comes to the worst, which rom/s would you suggest that is good for graphical/video performance which is what I'm looking for...
encode your movies in h.264 baseline level 3 with AAC audio, in the mp4 container. HTC Album/Windows Media Player will then use the hardware decoder to play the videos.

That's possible, but I really wanted a player that plays divx/xvid which is what I want.
I tried 2 versions of TCMP but both give me an error when trying to open, so their no good.
I guess I will try a different version of coreplayer.
Problem solved, changed my rom...
So I want some videos on my X10. I used ones I already had on my PC (MP4's) and put them on my phone. The quality is fine, some need to be made bigger as they have black areas on the sides. The problem is, there is lag. I'm talking about a second behing on music videos etc. I have tried about 4 conversion softwares now and they all produce the same results, some better than others however. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
I have used Mobiola to convert my videos and they paly well on the X10.
You need to create a special profile for screen resolution and save it.
you just need to double tap the screen to full size the video and get rid of those black borders
Forget the conversion apps and just get the divx app.. Works fine without the hassle of converting!!
Hope it helps!!

Simr, I have the exact same problem and I can't seem to fix it regardless of what conversion program I use. I've read on other forums that other phones using the snapdragon proc are having the same prob. What's weird is that not everyone seems to be having the same issue. My temp fix has been to use the Rock divx player. Divx stuff plays in sync so I convert other formats to divx. Hopefully a firmware update will fix this.

on the stock video player? how?
Guys, i have an early beta version of player, which plays .avi, .mkv and other popular formats without any conversion, just uploaded 1.4gb avi movie from my pc, and it plays flawless, ~25fps. Does someone want to try it out ?

umm, when the file is playing, i just tap the screen twice - like how you would double click the mouse on your computer to open stuff
i was also going to suggest that maybe your video files are originally laggy before you put them on your x10 but according to adamupnorth, it sounds like a different issue, very strange...

this is because android 1.6 does not support hardware acceleration in the x10 ,2.1 will bring better video playback ,it will be 720p playback
It seems that Rockplayer is now out of beta and is in the market.
It's free with adverts and $9.99 without.
There's a webpage here too:

thanks for info just trying it now and gotta say im impressed :O great player thanks !
Any major change from the last beta?
I'm aware the UI and options have been improved drastically.

Sucks that the red "R" is back unless you buy it.
GUI looks really nice, but I just tryed playing one of the movies recorded with my Desire and sound is all messed up like a really high squeeky sound all the time. Anyone else experience that?

Yep, sound is just a high squeeky noise on anything recorded using Desire camera on mine as well.
Xvids are fine.
Playing issues
I am impressed how well this player can play DIVX or Avi movies smoothly, but I think this player has problem playing MP4 or MPEG files that are recorded from other phones. For example I have some collection of MP4 files that I have recorded from my previous windows mobile phone, but when I tried to play them with rockplayer, the sound are so horrible. High pitch and full of noise, very distorted. I thought maybe the files are corrupted, but when I tried to transfer them to my blackberry phone...they just work perfect! SO pretty sure this is the rockplayer issues. I guess this player is NOT yet perfect after all.
The player does not play well mp4 and mkv files with multiple audio tracks in container.
What a f... SRT support?
Amazing!
Yes, but it doesn't support special characters.

THE PLAYER IS REALLY NICE but i too get some audio problems once in a while

It does, subtitles just need to be UTF-8 encoded (File -> Save as -> Coding:UTF in Notepad is enough)

firstly i have not used freedom app so i cant say anything about it !! but u can flash gapps once and see if its works or not !! if that dont work then flash stock !!
and for video player MX player is the best !! and for mx player u have to download and install two files 1.mx player 2. MX Player Codec (ARMv6 for galaxy y)
i think u've installed the codec and thatswhy u can find it on ur phone !! i gave u the solution !! try it...
woah ty ALOT dude i mean seriosly ur soloution worked great man.....both of em
but the problem im facing right now is that the vid im watching is lagging alot on my cell on mx player is there anyway i can speed it up ?

if it is an mp4 encoded with the x264 codec then no - not in its current form as the galaxy y does not support hardware accelleration
you have two choice
1 - download videos in avi encoded with xvid
2 - use your pc to convert the video into avi encoded with xvid
besides that there is no way to speed it up what about ram consumption or cpu control ?
do I HAVE to switch it to avi and is there anyway i can do that on my phone ?

no if it is encoded in mp4 x264 - the galaxy y is not powerful enough to play it as it has no hardware accelleration
there are apps that convert video but I wouldnt bother with them - it would take days on a galaxy y
converting on pc or downloading avi in the first place if possible is the only solution
cm7 does support hardware accelleration with mx player but as we dont have full working libs the chances are if you turn on hardware accelleration in mx player your video will not play at all
It's better to convert it on PC and transfer to your phone
